    While EAD filed during June/July 08 for Primary & Dependant got approved with 2-year validity. But, dependant daughter's EAD filed in Jan09 was approved last week with 1-year validity. Does it mean with PD of 10/05 AOS approval is coming in months? Any Thoughts?

    I just contributed $100 in addition to my previous contributions. I posted the details on another thread.

    If you are done with contributing please urge your friends to do so. Previously lot of people used to ask what should they tell about IV achievments to friends. Now you have the July Visa bulletin Fiasco. Strike the iron while it is hot. Please urge you friends to contribute ASAP.

    Girish - CIR was meant to help the illegals not us folk. I hope we never have to see CIR again . It would just mean millions more ahead in line whereas we who have been waiting for years will be sent to the dustbin.:mad:

    What I try to meant for legal relief from congress. I am really concerned about eb3 and many of my close friends are in the same boat.

    I met the local office of my Congressman with the following documents to make it easy & simple..

    A copy of the Congresswoman Lofgren's letter written to USCIS etc ( download it from IV homepage )

    A copy of Today ( July 5th ) Wall Street Journal . This issue has story about this fiasco.

    Downloaded news flash from Murthy.com regarding Visa bulletins of 13th June & the screwup bulletin on 2nd July

    Above was good enough to convince them regarding the mess & they promised action on their part..

    IMPORTANT... I clarified that IT IS A PROCEDURAL ISSUE WITH USCIS

    NOT AN IMMIGRATION ISSUE WHERE CONGRESS HAS TO TAKE ACTION

    This really made them very comfortable as she said, we keep writing to concerned offices about procedural matters.

    I told them that they should ask USCIS to " RECEIVE" aour applications to minimize our finanacial loss and other headache of refiling at a later date



    Please note, it is real easy to meet the Congressman as they have local offices may be one mile away from your office or home.

    Small towns like mine are great for this effort as compared to big towns. I encourage all of you particularly living in small towns to make this small move, which I am sure can resolve our issue & we will save all the $$$ in refiling & avoid further agony


    Since your butt is on fire like mine.... I do not think I need to convince you to act on this


    Best wishes

    Not Volunteer but Leaders...

    Volunteer is a person who takes responsibility and does a task. Here the question was raised to have new leaders who can take a flight to Washington DC on Monday morning, change the law by noon to issue GC to every EB category, have a lunch at Olive Garden, come back monday evening.

    Most leaders are actually volunteers in IV. They have a regular full time job.

    What you are saying: "who can take a flight to Washington DC on Monday morning, change the law by noon to issue GC to every EB category, have a lunch at Olive Garden, come back monday evening" :

    For this you need to hire full time lobbyist which costs a lot
    of money. IV budget is nowhere close to that the Hispanic lobby group:
    National council of La Raza whose budget is
    $40 million or $1.3 billion including its “affiliates” network.
    IV is a tiny organization in front of La Raza. Thats....a BILLION with which they hire full time lobbyist.

    I strongly suggest you listen to the audio interview to understand how big the hispanic
    lobby is and get some reality check of how things work in US politics.

    Raul Yzaguirre on Past and Future of La Raza : NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4229605)

    Even with such power also they cant pass CIR. But at least they ensure that no
    EB or illegal immigration reform will pass unless there is something for illegals.

    From reader "MA", the blog TalkingPointsMemo.com -he's referring to the slowdown in criminal cases at the USA office in SF, not immigration. But interesting, nonetheless:

    Your post . . . about the slowdown in cases in San Francisco got me thinking about the larger bureaucratic issue associated with more than half a dozen years under Bush.

    This is a relatively trivial incident, but a while back I attempted to get my passport renewed and discovered the wait times had doubled (partly because of the new rule requiring travelers to Canada to have passports) -- trivial, yes, but it also highlights some of the more mundane effects of an administration run by people who have a fundamental antipathy toward government service and government programs.

    This gets writ large in the case of incidents like Hurricane Katrina, the prosecution of the Iraq war and so on...but it also gets writ small in thousands of details of everyday bureaucratic life -- especially as the Bush influence trickles down through the bureaucracy from political appointees to career employees.

    If the governing Bush/Cheney philosophy is that the public sector doesn't work, that it is inherently not just inefficient and corrupt, but antagonistic to citizens and individuals, this philosophy has a way of slithering its way into the workings of the system itself -- not just in the case of high profile corruption scandals, but also, again on a more mundane level, in the day-to-day operation of government bureaucracies.

    And here's the weird thing, even though that sounds so unexciting, there's something almost stifling about imagining a bureaucracy that really is antagonistic to individuals -- one that not only slows down, but finds some vindication in throwing up road blocks, thwarting citizen requests, and, in the end, not serving the public. I have family members who lived in former communist countries -- and that's really how the bureaucracy was there, and life under those circumstances was made much more difficult, bureaucratic responsibilities increasingly cumbersome, much of the time the system just didn't work, and had to be gamed (or bribed).

    Although I have large scale concerns about Bush's handling of the war, the economy, and so on, I also have some more micro scale concerns about what his philosophy of governance means for everyday life and our everyday interactions with the bureaucracy. Indeed, this scale, though more mundane, is also the one that in some ways affects the majority of the population more directly, even if much less dramatically. I've lived in places where the bureaucracy functions quite well, and where citizens take a certain pride in the fact that the government serves them.

    The idea of living in a country where the administration's goal is to demonstrate just how bad government is/can be scares me at this very prosaic level -- I want my schools and courts and inspection agencies and passport agencies and so on to be run by people who really believe in government service and in the fact that the government can work effectively to serve the populace. Bush seems to be doing everything he can to dismantle such a world -- and he risks fueling a vicious circle in so doing

    That is $5 billion not %50 billion. This number makes no difference, NYSE trades shock values more then that amount per second.

    Thank you..I corrected it. It might make no difference, but when you think about US banks begging for $25 billions each just a few months ago, I dont think you will have the same feeling.

    People are burying these posts as spam.. can we do something to make sure that doesnt happen?

    I guess that tells how much public cares about our GC's. We want to spice up the story by adding other issues that can make our situation worse.

    The only way we can get 4000 diggs is by having every info lurker digg it and individual comments.

    Dear members,

    As we enter the final week of our rally preparation we would like to thank our members that have indicated that they would be coming for the rally. We also want to thank all state chapter and action item leaders for helping us out in this massive effort. This planning, coordination and implementation cannot happen without the help of each and every member. Help has ranged from phone call campaigns, publicity campaigns, media campaigns, lawmaker meetings, banner preparations, Merchandise set up, state chapter activities, Bus initiatives, Transportation and accommodation initiatives, sponsorships, reaching out to law offices and like minded organizations etc to tasks as important as deciding the Dinner menu for the Sept 17 event.

    We still have a long way to go in our planning and implementation. IV membership is working hard to make this rally a success. The Sept 17th lobby day work is being implemented at this time and lawmaker office appointments are being sought. Everyone that has indicated their presence for this event will be contacted this week. We are planning a big reception event on September 17, from 6PM to 9PM at the Cannon Building in DC. IV members, lawmakers, staffers, industry leaders and other like minded organizations are expected to attend this event. It will be a great opportunity for IV members to meet these important representatives. There is also going to be a big Press event on Sept 18th that we are planning. There are several initiatives being taken to have a big media push for the rally. The rally is in itself a huge task that requires planning from getting all police permits (which we already have) to transporting rally material, providing registration opportunity for members, getting lawmakers to address the rally to details like stage and sound system.

    All this has required IV to invest heavily. We already invest almost all in our lobbying efforts and remaining little in Website maintenance till now and somehow manage to run this organization on shoestring budgets. We need about 30 thousand dollars in the next 8 days to make sure we can meet our needs and also make a big impact via this rally. This rally will most certainly bring our issues to the national center stage and help us get much needed immigration relief.

    This post urges everyone to come forward and help us in this short term funding drive. If you have not contributed till now, please consider contributing. If you have got your Receipt notice/FP notice/EAD etc. then do show your admiration for our combined effort via lobbying, San Jose rally and Flower campaign that enabled everyone to file their I485s. If you have recently received your green cards, then please consider contributing as a way of celebrating and endorsing our effort.

    We need help from each and every member reading this post. We will continue to post updates. Please visit IV site regularly.

    Thanks
    IV team

    Sept 13, update.
    Here is a small update on this drive. After seeing such great support and commitment from everyone, we have decided to invest in some media publicity effort. You will see a major push in this by Immigrationvoice and we all will be happy to see the kind of awareness and impact it will make on the Rally day. We have a modest budget of 11 thousand dollars for this effort added to the overall need of 30 thousand for the rally effort. Lets reach of this number (30+11= 41K) and even exceed the expectations in the next 4 days.

    Sept 14 Update
    Some fruits of the contributions members have made towards media and publicity work

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13395
    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13392

    We are able to do it, only because members are supporting it. More will follow until the date of the rally that will make us all proud. Thank you for your support. Pls. keep it up.

    To all RonGcher fans:

    Where is your RonGcher now?
    He predicted a heavy forward movement of dates in the last quarter.

    You thought he knows more and has inside information? :)

    Now you know these lawyers are out there just to market themselves and get more clients.....


    He was going by the logic that apparently DOS was releasing visa numbers on a quarterly basis. It should be clear now that it is not true. DOS is no longer releasing visa numbers on a quarterly basis.

    Ron Gotcher does not have a crystal ball. He was predicting based on past statistics. It was subject to the condition that DOS had not changed its model.

    Yes every member has their own issues. We cannot solve individual issue one by one. That is why you have to contribute to IV and join hands with IV to solve our issue.

    Also, if this May 15th date is true, then why the hell in world the backlog center is still open and working on dead cases. The cases will be dead only if the law is passed. May be they are also confused as we are.

    I received good news on June 1, 2007 that my I-140 is approved. It was received by USCIS on May 22, 2007. Then later that day I saw the new immigration bill. If this very unreasonable bill (EB backlog) will be passed the wasting of all the money, time, stress, anxiety and hope towards the GC procedure will make the whole thing look like a bitter joke. This is beyong my wildest imagination on how bad things can go since we are all hard-working and law-abiding legal immigrants. Is it a punishment for being a good member of society?

    I'm praying that it will not be given any consideration by those who have powers.

    Immigrating legally to the U.S seemed like a gold opportunity when I was offered to work here six years ago with an H1B visa. As a matter of fact, all my friends and family considered that it would have been crazy not to take advantage of the "opportunity" to live and work in the most developed country on Earth.

    It's been six long years of challenges and learning experiences, but mostly it's been six years of financial distress, anxiety, paralysis and uncertainty.

    We applied for PR four years ago, but in the process my wife and I have eaten all our saving in lawyer fees - and at this point we're just one more number in the long list of EB3 applicants who don't have the remotest idea of when visa numbers will become available so we can have a normal life. I don't even consider traveling to my country cause I don't have the money to pay for APs for me and my wife. My career has been also frozen since I cant take promotions to higher positions that will fall off the job description stated in my PERM.

    If I had known about this ordeal, I would have never come to the US. I would have looked for other options, in countries that have a more sincere and generous immigration policies instead. If the US is not interested in allowing people to legally immigrate through visas based on employment, they simply should eliminate these visas and make clear that they don't want us to stay. Wouldn't that be easy for everyone?

    I would return to my country if we didn't have a nasty political turmoil and the social decay that comes with it. Yet, I feel that the days go by and our lives are entangled in this absurd situation.

    Just to clarify your logic of thoughts: when you came here you came here on H-1 (non-immigrat visa) to work and make money. At a time you were never immigrant, you were TEMORARY WORKER. on coming here, probably after experiencing few years life here and comparing that to your home country, you felt it better and DECIDED To IMMIGRATE and APPLIED FOR GC. Unfortunately that process is legal mess so you dont like that mess. But if you do little soul search if you didnt like here you should not have applied for your GC, Just have made money (as your initial objective) and went back home with strong experience and lot of cash. I have seen couple of people doing that. They come here, they feel that this country is not for them, they still stay on H1 make money survive on very less money and then go home. Once they go home they even dont need to work if they wish so. But you did not made that choice but decided to stay here, not because of GC, GC was just medium to stay here.

    Hope this help in little soul searching for you.

    Hi TomTancredo (even though I hate the real Tancredo, you seem to be a good person :)),

    This is exactly why I asked you if you could share the details of your RFE. My attorney had asked me to submit affidavits from my parents since I did not have birth ceritificate. Is this the same issue with yours? Could you share the details if you don't mind?

    Thank you.
